Description
ffmpeg6 installs its libraries into /opt/local/libexec/ffmpeg6/lib/ instead of /opt/local/lib/ Build tools like meson/waf etc. cannot find ffmpeg libs there by default i.e setting CFLAGS/LDFLAGS vars doesn't do anything

Anything using pkg-config should work if you set PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/local/libexec/ffmpeg6/lib/pkgconfig in the environment.

Yes, that's intentional, as v5/v6 have breaking changes, which many ports can't build with.
Those ports that are compatible with v6 can explicitly build with it though, with minor portfule changes.
